Our journey into the great Sahara… who knew riding camels can be so fun (that is, after figuring out the proper technique to avoid getting certain body parts getting squished…). The one behind me, who we lovingly named Whitey, was especially awesome. His photo, first one below, could just be my favorite of the trip.

By the way, this was one of the most magnificent sunsets I’ve seen, a true spectacle of color.
